the death penalty and abortion. Moreover, they are
not likely to sort themselves out any more easily
with respect to the fruits of the human genome
project. One should not make the mistake of
assuming that law and morality are coextensive, on

Gender and Money: Limitations for Women in the
Victorian City If money is the ascribing of value
to valueless matter, the basis of its power for
evil over man is his forgetting of this fact. Our
Mutual Friend is about a whole society which has

money of dust and is the source of its value, this
society takes money as the ultimate
value-in-itself, the measure and source of all
other value. As one of the Voices of Society says,
A man may do anything la...
